Email Logs contains a record of every email sent from your Chargebee site, including Action Emails. To view the Email Logs, click Logs > Email Logs.
When you navigate to the Email Logs page, by default only the emails sent on that day are shown. Remove the All Emails - Today filter to view all the emails sent from your Chargebee site.
Listed below are the email statuses along with their meaning. This can also be accessed as a filter criterion using the Mail Status filter. "SMTP" mentioned here refers to any SMTP server you have configured in Chargebee, and if not, defaults to Chargebee SMTP.
Scheduled: The email is scheduled to be delivered to the SMTP server from Chargebee.
Rescheduled: The email delivery from Chargebee to SMTP had failed and is scheduled for a retry.
Succeeded: The email has been successfully delivered to the SMTP.
Failed: The email has not been delivered to the SMTP, after exhausting all retries.
The statuses below are exclusively for Chargebee SMTP users and signify whether the email has been delivered to the customer.
The below statuses won't be available for Email v1 users.
Delivered: The email has been successfully delivered to the customer.
Opened: The delivered email has been opened by the customer. For this to work, you need to enable Show email opens option under Settings > Configure Chargebee > Email notifications > Change SMTP settings.
Dropped: The email has not been delivered to the customer. Possible reasons might be the user unsubscribing from your emails or the email being flagged as spam by a third-party spam application.
Bounced: The email has not been delivered due to server denial. Possible reason might be incorrect "Send to" address.
For Dropped and Bounced emails you can find the exact reason for non-delivery by hovering over the exclamation icon.
